The 7 Most Compelling Scientific Discoveries That Suggest Aliens Are Real

The
fact I find most fascinating about universe is, every single one of us is made
up of atoms that were on one occasion part of an exploding star, containing
atomic carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen — some of the important constituents for
life.Over several billions of
years, these elements condense to generate gas clouds. These
clouds ultimately gave ultimately giving birth
to new stars and planets, which means that the elements, and consequently the
potential, for life beyond Earth are distributed across the cosmos. The final
question is no longer "Is there any life beyond Earth?" but instead
"Will we ever find it?" So here are some recent findings which point
towards the existence of Aliens and where we are going to find them:

1. Earlier this year, a group of researchers, based on recent data, projected that
about 4.5 billion years ago at least one-fifth of Mars was concealed in an
ocean more than 450 feet deep. Any indication of life that swam in these waters
might therefore be hidden in the Martian dirt.And just this September, NASA made the cutting-edge
proclamation that liquid water still exists on Mars at the moment. However,
this water is in
much smaller amounts than 4.5 billion years ago. This exclusive find proposes
that fossilized ancient life on Mars might be secondary to living organisms on
the red planet's surface.

2. Asteroids and comets are important to the foundation of life on Earth, researchers
think. In specific, comet impacts, according to a study last August, likely produced
amino acids to pool and form the building blocks of life. According to our
current knowledge of solar-system formation, there are several other comets in
other planetary systems that might be doing the same exact thing right now.

3. Jupiter's tiny moon Europa is marked with brown traces that are supposed to show
where warmer, duller liquid water in the moon's mantle leaked through its
crust,
which is quite interesting. Europa could dock more water than Earth, which is why both America and
Europe are financing hundreds of millions of dollars into projects for future tasks
that would search for life underneath its surface.

4. Beyond Europa is Saturn's moon Enceladus, which researchers proved this month hosts
a huge, global ocean underneath its icy outer shell. Just like Europa,
Enceladus' ocean is a perfect place where life beyond Earth could live.

5. In addition to those on Europa and Enceladus, massive underground oceans might
exist on at least a dozen objects in our own solar system, planetary researchers
suspect. The problem with spotting life on any of these is getting to the
watery mantle that exists hundreds of miles underground.

6. It’s
conceivable that alien life can only exist and flourish on almost Earth-like
planets, which would mean our only best chance of spotting aliens is on planets
that exists outside of our solar system. Just last July, researchers spotted an
Earth-like planet 1,400 light-years away. Its extent, orbit, sun, and age offer
the great "opportunity for life to arise somewhere on the surface ...
should all the necessary ingredients and conditions for life on this planet
[exist]," one researcher said.

7. Last October, researchers discovered something they still cannot clarify: Remarkably
large lumps of matter circling the distant star KIC 8462852. However the
chances are quite low, the bizarre matter might be a kind of alien-built
megastructure called a Dyson swarm. Right now, SETI researchers are using the
Allan Telescope Array to regulate if an alien civilization exists in this star
system 1,500 light-years from Earth.
